IU, who played a child actor in "I Was Fooled," has sparked discussion by sharing updates on her "explosive growth" at age 15.
On the 15th, the mother of child actor Kim Tae-yeon posted a photo on Kim Tae-yeon's official SNS account certifying her attendance at the VIP screening of actress Yeom Hye-ran's new film "My Name" held recently. The two have a connection from last March, when they portrayed a mother and daughter in the Netflix series "I Was Born to Be a Pig" (hereinafter "Pig"), which swept the globe. Kim Tae-yeon portrayed the childhood version of Ae-soon (played by Moon So-ri·IU), earning critical acclaim.
In particular, the released photos drew the attention of netizens with Kim Tae-yeon's remarkably matured appearance. Her youthful face from her time on "Bokssak" was gone, replaced by a pure, innocent girl image as she let her long hair hang loose. Already radiating a unique aura, the photos have further heightened expectations for her future activities.
Kim Tae-yeon, born in 2011, recently delivered a powerful performance in ENA's "Honor: Their Court."
